Well I've used the IPA fonts from SIL (the freeware ones, i.e. Doulos,
Sophia and Manuscript, which are based on Times Roman, Helvetica and
Courier, respectively, and include bold/italic/bold-italic fonts as
well).

I don't exactly *need* three typefaces though, and I found a free font
set simply called IPAPhon.  It is based on my favorite printing font,
Book Antiqua (Palatino for Macs), and is too supplied with bold and
italic.  The bold-italic font, however, is a whole new set of symbols,
indicating disordred speech (ls and lz ligatures, feng, the bidental
and bilabial percussives), rare features, "Americanist" phonetic
symbols, and pulmonic activity.

IPAPhon can be found here:

Hey, there's even a neat li'l .gif demo of the TrueType font!

DaW.
